Vomiting blood in a cat (scientifically called hematemesis) is a sign of internal bleeding. When a cat vomits pink or red liquid, the main thing is to understand that you are dealing with blood, and not with colored vomit, for example, after eating beets. Remember the foods you gave your cat the day before. If among them there are no ones that could give a red color to the vomit, then the cause is bleeding.

Vomiting in a cat is not dangerous in itself. This happens to everyone from time to time. This is most often associated with regurgitation of fur trapped in the stomach. Moreover, if a cat has eaten enough fur, it even needs to be provoked to vomit using, for example, cat grass. However, pink and red vomit in a cat- this is a very alarming signal that indicates damage to the internal tissues of the gastrointestinal tract. Internal bleeding It is dangerous because the animal may die due to blood loss.

Bleeding in the mouth

Bleeding from a cat's internal organs must be distinguished from bleeding in the mouth and throat. Usually in this case, the blood is scarlet and is not necessarily released through vomiting, but may be in the saliva.

The first thing the owner should do in this case is look into the mouth. If a bleeding wound is found in the mouth, then it will have to be treated.

Common causes of oral bleeding are all kinds of food injuries (for example, bones), eating threads and Christmas tree rain, as well as diseases of the oral cavity (gingivitis, stomatitis, tumors, etc.) and a lost tooth.

If scarlet blood is mixed with vomit, the cause may be nosebleed: The animal swallows blood and then vomits.

In any case, the blood from the nose or mouth will be fresh and scarlet.

Bleeding from the esophagus

Blood in vomit is most often a sign of injury upper sections digestive system - esophagus and stomach.

A sign of bleeding from the esophagus is a scarlet color mixed with the vomit.

The reasons why a cat vomits scarlet blood can be damage from bones and rough food eaten by rain or sausage wrappers, as well as various diseases- ulcers and tumors of the esophagus.

Also, causes of bleeding in the esophagus and stomach include taking medications that corrode the mucous membrane, and coagulopathy - a blood clotting disorder, which can result in massive bleeding even with minor inflammation and slight damage to the mucous membrane.

Bleeding from the stomach

A sign of bleeding from the stomach is that the blood mixed with the vomit is coagulated: it is dark red or even brown(like coffee) due to the content of hemoglobin digested by the stomach.

The cause of gastric bleeding in a cat can be the disintegration of a tumor, worms, poisoning, as well as mechanical damage mucous membrane.

Such bleeding often leads to anemia. To detect it, just look at the cat’s oral mucosa: if it turns pale, it’s a clear sign. The condition is also accompanied by apathy and sometimes fever. Ultimately, it leads to death if action is not taken. You need to apply cold to the stomach and immediately go to the vet.

Intestinal bleeding

Vomiting when intestinal bleeding very similar to stomach vomiting. A specific diagnosis can only be made by a veterinarian after an examination.

Intestinal bleeding can occur in small intestine- then the cat vomits blood ( brown liquid), but it can happen in lower sections- then we see feces with an admixture dark blood or melena (dark, mushy stool that resembles coffee grounds).

Cough with frothy, bloody sputum

It happens that the owner confuses vomiting and coughing up blood, which is a sign of pulmonary hemorrhage or a foreign object entering the respiratory tract. In such a case, the animal requires urgent veterinary care.

Cat vomits pink foam

If a cat vomits foam mixed with blood, the end result is pink. There is no need to be afraid of the foam itself, because... it could just be stomach acid. However, foam may also indicate the presence of serious diseases of the internal organs. Therefore, it is better to show the cat to a veterinarian.

If your cat not only vomits, but also coughs up pink foam, this may be caused by respiratory infection, and as a result of which the cough irritates the vomiting center - and vomiting occurs. Blood impurities in it appear as a result of rupture of small capillaries.

Hidden bleeding

If bleeding begins in organs that do not communicate with external environment, or is not accompanied by vomiting, the owner may not notice it. In this case, the only signs will be general symptoms:

• apathy and drowsiness;
• increased body temperature;
• dyspnea;
• weakness;
• pallor of the mucous membranes of the mouth;
• abdominal enlargement.

If such symptoms occur, you need to take the cat to the veterinarian. And it’s even more worthwhile to hurry if such symptoms began soon after bloody vomiting. This means that the bleeding is quite severe and the mucous membrane does not heal.

First aid

If you notice that your cat has vomited blood or is experiencing bad symptoms, you should take the following measures: Stop giving food for at least 12 hours and ensure rest. Food will only aggravate the damage to the mucous membrane at a time when it could be spending energy on regeneration. Ideally, you should not feed the animal all day long, i.e. 24 hours. But, if you see that the animal is no longer vomiting, bleeding does not appear in any way, the cat behaves as if healthy, it has an appetite, it runs and plays, then after 12-24 hours it can be given gentle food. It is better for a cat to come out of fasting with the help of mucous infusions of rice, vegetable puree in broth, boiled chicken or turkey meat.

To soothe and heal the mucous membranes, you can give your cat a warm decoction of chamomile. The cat itself most likely will not want to drink it, so it needs to be injected into the mouth in small portions from a syringe without a needle. You cannot inject in large portions, because... this may trigger further vomiting.

If, in addition to bloody vomiting, you see the life-threatening symptoms described above, or the vomiting recurs, then you need to go to the veterinary clinic.

Veterinarian help

At the clinic, the veterinarian can perform blood tests, x-rays, ultrasound and endoscopy. Can also be assigned biochemical analysis blood tests, virus tests, fecal tests. The list of studies will depend on what symptoms, in addition to vomiting, are observed in the cat. If they resemble an infectious disease, there will be some tests, if a foreign object is suspected, then others, etc.

Treatment is determined after diagnosis. But there are cases when the doctor cannot even determine the presence of foreign objects, because X-rays do not show them. As a result, cats remain without a diagnosis for several days. Case from practice. The cat ate the ribbon, after which she began vomiting blood, dehydration and pancreatitis. As a result, veterinarians suspected several diagnoses at once, because... The x-ray showed nothing. At this time, they admitted her to the clinic and maintained the cat’s condition with IVs and other means. As a result, the ribbon came out on its own naturally. The fact that the veterinarians were unable to make a diagnosis is certainly bad. But, on the other hand, they helped maintain the cat’s stable condition while the body dealt with the problem on its own. Otherwise, she could have died from blood loss or dehydration before the ribbon came out.

More often than not, a diagnosis can be made. In the case of a foreign object entering the stomach, the risk of surgery or attempts to remove it naturally is assessed. It all depends on what kind of item it is.

There are cases when even swallowed sewing needles with the help of Vaseline came out through the intestines without damaging it. However, most often in such cases, surgery is prescribed, because if the object does pierce the intestines, the consequence will be quick death.

If the problem is caused by minor damage to the gastrointestinal tract due to unsuccessful food, in particular bones, then treatment is usually conservative: diet (first hungry, then gentle) and monitoring the pet’s condition.

To speed up the healing of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines, you can give your cat food supplement with the amino acid glutamine 500 mg twice a day. It is easy to grind into powder and mix with food. Of course, this must be done after the cat has been on a fasting diet for the prescribed time. The amino acid is sold in regular human pharmacies.

Until the cat stops bleeding, its condition must be maintained so that it does not die from dehydration or blood loss. For this purpose, IVs and injections are given.

In a situation where bleeding is caused serious illnesses, they begin to treat not only their consequences (that is, bleeding), but also the root cause. In any case, only a veterinarian can prescribe treatment.

Vomiting is a protective physiological process of the body that helps to release gastrointestinal tract from incoming foreign and toxic substances.

Why does a cat vomit?

By contracting the abdominal muscles and diaphragm with the help of abdominal pressure, all contents are expelled.

This often happens unpleasant phenomenon occurs with pets - cats and kittens. Since vomiting syndrome is not a disease, but one of the symptoms, there are different reasons:

• ingress of foreign objects: wool, grass;
• overeating;
• swallowing food too quickly;
• cancer;
• inflammation of the throat or esophagus;
• worms;
• uremia;
• ketosis;
• reaction to medications;
• exacerbation of gastrointestinal diseases;

Vomiting in a cat.

If a spasm in a cat occurred spontaneously and was an isolated incident, the cause is most likely that hairballs got inside when the animal “washed itself.”

Prolonged vomiting indicates the presence of more serious problem and should contact your veterinarian immediately.

Types of vomiting

Based on the nature of the vomit, duration, severity, and smell, several types of this process are distinguished. In kittens, the cause may be excessive activity after eating or eating foods that are heavy for a small body. In adults, in addition to mechanical irritants, there are many reasons for the appearance of vomiting:

Persistent type (the cat is choking and appears to be vomiting)

This type is characterized by incessant spasms of short duration.

The cat involuntarily burps, gags and coughs.

The cat involuntarily burps and gags for some time. It is observed that the animal is worried and bends its head to the floor. After a couple of minutes, vomiting begins directly, lasting quite a long time. After the contents are removed, the spasms continue for some time, accompanied by the release of clear mucous fluid in small portions.

It is necessary to carefully examine the withdrawn substance to understand the suspected cause.

Irregular type

It happens that a cat periodically vomits for several days, or even weeks in a row. Process not food related , because there is no or very poor appetite. The pet is depressed, inactive, reluctant to respond, and not allowed to be handled.

No wool, grass, or other foreign objects are observed in the vomit. If no worms are found, which would lead to a conclusion about helminth infection, the signs may indicate other diseases, such as or. Irritable bowel syndrome, diabetes mellitus.

Blood type (blood in the cat’s vomit)

The presence of blood in the vomit makes it clear to the owner that there are serious health problems with the animal.

Vomiting blood.

If blood present in gastric stool light red , this almost always means damage to the esophagus, mechanical irritation of the pharynx or wounds on the oral mucosa. A thorough examination of the pet's mouth and throat is required to identify foreign objects: bone fragments, splinters, weed residues.

Bright red color , dark or brownish shows the fact of bleeding directly in the stomach. Blood changes color or darkens due to hydrochloric acid located in the gastrointestinal tract.

Caused by a number of diseases:

• exacerbation of gastritis;
• peptic ulcer;
• severe intoxication with damage to internal organs;
• presence of sharp objects in the gastric cavity - glass fragments, needles, small nails.

Presence of excrement

It happens that the vomit has a very foul odor and looks like feces. This manifestation of symptoms gives rise to suspicion the animal has serious illnesses . Possible causes include: intestinal blockage, severe trauma to the abdominal area, penetrating or blunt. Saving a cat depends on timely professional assistance.

Biliary (yellow cat vomit)

The physiological location of bile is the gallbladder, so the presence of even a small proportion of it in the stomach is a pathology.

Vomiting with bile.

When a cat vomits bile, you should suspect a problem with gallbladder and biliary tract, toxic damage liver. The appearance of bile in the discharge may be a consequence of prolonged vomiting, when the spasms are still ongoing, and the stomach has already emptied all its contents. In this case, the contraction of the stomach under abdominal pressure pulls out what is closest.

Vomiting with green impurities.

The same type includes greenish discharge . This state of affairs indicates that, as a result, feces, entering the intestines, return back to the stomach. The second provoking factor is excessive production of bile, which, in turn, is a sign of liver disease.

Spontaneous abundant

A reflex that occurs suddenly is accompanied by a strong, abundant release, often uncontrolled. In addition to gastrointestinal diseases and ingestion of foreign objects and toxic substances, neoplasms are often diagnosed with this type.

Brain diseases characterized by increased intracranial pressure– tumor, encephalitis, thrombosis.

Vomiting in pregnant cats

Pregnant cats, like women, feel sick in the morning. This happens due to the increased toxic atmosphere during gestation of kittens.

Often a pregnant cat vomits in the morning due to toxicosis.

If nothing suspicious is observed in the vomit of a pregnant female - blood, bile, foul odor - there is no need to worry. This is a normal condition during pregnancy.

If such impurities exist, consult a doctor immediately. The symptom leads to , therefore drinking plenty of fluids and contacting a veterinarian is mandatory.

Vomiting in kittens

Kittens vomit for several reasons. A possible reason is congenital anomaly sphincter in the stomach , which does not allow food to be excreted into the intestines in full, returning it back through vomiting. Eliminated by reducing portions during feeding. Often, a kitten burps or vomits after active play.

Cats vomit white foam

Vomiting white foam.

The eruption of white foam is most likely not dangerous. After some time, the food digested in the stomach enters the intestines, and the gastric cavity remains empty. The remaining gastric juice collects protein mucus from the walls, forming a foamy mass.

An isolated case has no dangerous consequences. Regular repetition is a reason to contact a veterinarian.

Treatment of vomiting

Treatment for vomiting has general principle, but aimed at eliminating the primary causes. Treatment methods used for vomiting:

• diet;
• antispasmodics;
• antiemetics;
• gastroprotectors;
• acupuncture;
• homeopathy;
• folk remedies;
• surgical care.

The mechanical cause of the manifestation of vomiting syndrome is eliminated surgically.

Foreign bodies are removed from the animal’s stomach during surgery, after which restorative therapy is carried out. Sometimes it is possible to remove artificial irritants endoscopically - inserting a probe through the esophagus. Some types of tumors - lymphoma - are amenable to chemotherapy. Adenocarcinoma – only surgical removal.

Use of antibiotics

Inflammatory processes of the gastrointestinal tract are treated antibiotics , anti-inflammatory drugs, restoratives. Additionally, vitamins and immunostimulants are prescribed.

Antibiotics are given by injection from a syringe.

Throat conditions such as tonsillitis are treated with antibiotics wide range actions. Local therapy is used - anti-inflammatory spray, antibacterial ointment. In severe cases it is recommended surgical removal tonsils

Plague

There is no effective remedy to combat plague. Recovery depends on the immunity of the sick animal. Maintenance therapy is used to prevent contracting other infections. Intravenous infusions are used and subcutaneous injections etiotropic drugs, antiviral.

Worms

Infection with worms is eliminated by the use of angelmintics, depending on the type of helminths that have infected the cat’s body: antitrematodes, antimnemthodes, anticestodes.

Uremia

Therapy for uremia is determined by ensuring the free passage of urine to avoid further intoxication. Electrolyte balance is corrected by intravenous infusion. General restorative and symptomatic assistance.

Diet for vomiting

The cat eats a special diet food based on rice.

Together with drug treatment plays an important role dietary food. First 10–12 hours The pet is kept on a starvation diet. Water should also not be given during this period; you can give an ice cube to lick. Upon completion acute syndrome Excluded from the diet: fatty, spicy, salty foods. is replaced by medicinal. Meals should be frequent, small portions.

In conclusion

IN for preventive purposes pets should be vaccinated on time and prevented from getting into food hazardous substances. To avoid hairballs, brush thoroughly every day. Attention to your pet will be provided healthy sleep owner and excellent health of the animal.

Vomiting in a cat is a fairly common phenomenon that happens to every pet at least once. And often we do not attach due importance to this situation - well, our mustache ate something wrong, it happens. But often, vomiting in a cat can also be a symptom of a serious illness. What to do in this case - how to understand the causes of vomiting and prescribe treatment at home? We will talk about this in our article.

Why is my cat vomiting? This phenomenon is one of the most striking symptoms that something is wrong with the animal. For what reasons does it occur and what diseases may it indicate? Let's look at the main causes of vomiting in cats.

Starvation

If we talk about pets, then most often hungry vomiting is recorded in the morning, when the stomach is empty after the night. As soon as the animal is fed or even given a drink, the vomiting stops.

Overeating

Often your cat may vomit after eating. And this reverse side medals. When the stomach is full, its contents cannot pass into the intestines (after all, the food must be digested) and it returns. And then the cat vomits after eating. Of course, since this food could not fit into the stomach, the cat vomits food or undigested food.

The cat is throwing up hair

Almost every owner of a purring dog in his life has encountered the phenomenon of a cat vomiting hair. There's nothing wrong with that. The pet licks itself, the hairs willy-nilly end up in the gastrointestinal tract, which cannot digest the hair.

This hair ball will not pass throughout the intestine, so the vomiting center (and it is present in every mammal’s brain) will give a “command” and reverse peristalsis will begin (that is, the entire contents of the intestine will not go towards the anus, as expected, but will go towards to the mouth). As a result of all this, vomiting begins. This is how hairballs come out of the cat.

If this does not happen, then over time a pilobezoar will form in the intestines - a dense ball of hair that will clog the digestive tract. Food will no longer be able to move through the gastrointestinal tract, and severe intoxication of the body may begin. The animal will be in great pain. It is not uncommon for a cat to vomit food or undigested food because there is nowhere for the food to “move.”

Such a hair ball can only be removed surgically. Therefore, it is extremely important to give the animal special food that helps remove licked fur from the digestive tract. And be sure to brush your pet regularly. Especially during periods of heavy molting.

Poisoning

Vomiting in cats is a defensive reaction. And if your pet is poisoned, then vomiting will help remove toxins from the body as quickly as possible so that they do not have time to be absorbed and cause harm to the body. But usually vomiting in cats that have been poisoned is accompanied by diarrhea. The intestines are cleansed from all sides at a fast pace.

However, there is a high risk of dehydration. Purr urgently needs help! Poisoning is especially dangerous for young animals and a pregnant cat. If this is exactly the case for you, we recommend reading.

Vomiting in a pregnant cat

It is no secret that the uterus increases in size while expecting offspring. Due to the fact that in abdominal cavity there is not much space, others internal organs are compressed, displaced. In addition, during the period of bearing children, the expectant mother has a real hormonal riot. Therefore, vomiting is sometimes observed in a pregnant cat.

It all depends on the pathogen and where it is localized. It will also be important to examine the cat’s vomit. Don’t be disdainful, because if there is blood or bile in them, then this will already tell you what the animal may have. In addition, when a veterinarian takes a medical history, such details will really narrow down the range of suitable diseases.

Different types of vomit in a cat: what do they indicate?

Attention: below are examples of vomiting in cats in the photo. Do not watch for the faint of heart or impressionable! As surprising as it may sound, vomiting in cats varies. And it is precisely by its characteristics that a diagnosis can presumably be made.

Yellow vomit in a cat

It is extremely rare that yellow vomit in a cat appears due to the coloring of the vomit with dyes from food (often due to feeding with industrial dry food). A cat often vomits yellow, not because of food, but because of bile.

Cat vomits bile

Unlike simply yellow vomit, bile has a bright tint. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to confuse it with something else. It usually occurs in those animals that have developed diseases of the liver and biliary tract. Do not feed your animal fatty or stale food. This is very harmful, it puts a huge strain on the liver.

The liver also suffers after infectious diseases or drug overdose. In some cases, antibiotics can destroy hepatocytes. And in some animals, the simplest antipyretic drugs slowly “kill” the liver, which in the future can lead to cats vomiting bile.

Cat vomits food or undigested food

Either the animal overate or ate too quickly, which resulted in the ingestion of very large pieces, which burp. However, vomiting in cats in this case is one-time.

If you notice that your cat often vomits, especially with undigested food, then you should visit the veterinarian’s office. Sometimes regurgitation of food becomes a sign of an inflammatory process in the digestive system (ulcer or gastritis, pancreatitis, colitis, etc.). It hurts the animal to eat; the stomach cannot properly digest so much food, which is why cats start vomiting.

Sometimes such vomiting in cats indicates intestinal obstruction or volvulus.

A cat is vomiting foam, white vomit

If this happened once, then don't worry too much. This happens to animals (and people too) on an empty stomach. This foam is just mucus that protects the stomach walls. If it is not there, an ulcer will form.

But if a cat vomits foam more than once, then it is better to contact a veterinarian. The animal may have gastritis, ulcers, or other inflammatory processes in the digestive organs. And these inflammations are not always of non-contagious etiology. The reason may lie in infection (viruses, bacteria) or helminths.

Vomiting blood in a cat

There are 2 types of vomiting blood in cats. If there was bleeding in the stomach or intestines (for example, due to an ulcer, tumor), then the vomit will contain brownish streaks. But if their color is scarlet, then the blood is mixed from a wound in the esophagus or in the oral cavity. But in any case, be sure to contact your veterinarian immediately! Bleeding is very dangerous! It doesn't always stop on its own.

Treatment of vomiting in cats

Treatment of vomiting in cats should only be carried out under the supervision of a veterinarian! Self-medication can lead to sharp deterioration well-being of your pet or even death. So, what to do if your cat is vomiting?

The first thing the veterinarian will do is take an anamnesis. That is, you should tell him how long ago it started in the cat, after what it happened, how long it lasts, whether there are other symptoms (many owners, before visiting the veterinarian, themselves prescribe painkillers, antipyretics, which changes the picture of the disease), what kind of vomit there was.

Often owners get scared and the cat vomits after sterilization. However, in most cases, the reason is simple: either the pet is very sensitive to anesthesia and recovers from it in a specific way, or you fed the animal when it has not yet fully recovered from anesthesia. After sterilization, you can give water to an animal only a couple of hours after it is stable on its feet and walking. The pharynx and stomach “depart” much later than the legs. Therefore, if you feed an operated whisker too early, there is a high risk that the cat will start vomiting.

If the veterinarian determines that the pet has been poisoned, then adsorbents will be prescribed (they will absorb toxins onto their surface, preventing them from being absorbed into the blood); if there was a specific poison, then the cat will be given an antidote. Medicines that will restore the water-salt balance are required.

Do not forget about gastritis, ulcers, colitis and other inflammations. The doctor will prescribe therapeutic diets, medicines(anti-inflammatory, astringent and others). Surgery is rarely required. If it is determined that helminths are to blame for the vomiting, then deworming will be carried out (in the future, do not forget about prevention).

It is much more dangerous if the cause of vomiting lies in infection. It is not always possible to recognize it quickly. Many owners think that everything will go away on its own and do not seek help. veterinary care. As a result, the pet may die within a few days. In order for the cat to recover, specific immunoglobulins or serums are required. It is almost impossible to choose it “at random”. We need test results.

Hello! I have a cat, he is half a year old. He ate boiled chicken bones (took it out of the trash can) and now he is vomiting all day long. Lethargic, lies all the time or sleeping, in his arms doesn’t walk, doesn’t eat or drink all day. Vomiting without blood, brown with pieces of bones, odorless, liquid, in small portions. When gagging, does not choke or cough. Please help! Tell me what to do! Should I take him to the vet or just watch him for a while, maybe give him something or at least pour him a little water?

• Catherine 12:12 | 10 Mar. 2019

  Hello! I have a 7 month old cat, he has been vomiting for 4 days now, 2-3 times. The first vomiting was at first water and wool with undigested food, then just greenish water and just water. His behavior has not changed, he is playful, but his appetite is reduced. On the third day they started giving Vetom 1.2. Today is the 4th day he has vomited some water. Three hours later after work, I went to the bowl and ate my dry food, but after 15 minutes it vomited... I don’t know what to do and what to do with it...? I give dry food “Hils” for kittens. 4-5 days ago she gave me some sour cream

• Sasha 20:55 | 19 Feb. 2019

  Hello! The cat is 4 years old and has been vomiting for 4 days, first with fur mixed with bile, now with just bile and undigested food. There was green diarrhea, now the stool has formed a little, but is still green. I just started drinking water today; before that I was given water and syringe feeding. They gave him activated carbon, but he also vomited it. The cat lives with his parents in an apartment, has never been outside, was fed with liver, raw liver, sometimes Royal food (the food does not eat well, they tried to feed boiled meat, poultry, children's canned meat, but he does not want to eat anything except liver from one factory and liver). The fur always grows a lot, but the cat does not go bald. His parents refuse to take him to the vet, and I live hundreds of kilometers away from them and don’t know how to help.

• • Daria is a veterinarian 00:49 | 16 Feb. 2019

    Hello! Whatever. From poisoning to infectious disease. One symptom at a time without an in-person examination and normal history taking (feeding, housing, treatments, how long ago it started, what was given, what other symptoms, is there access to house plants/garbage/household chemicals, injuries, past illnesses, including recently, etc.) no one will make a diagnosis. Falls on his side and is weak due to constant vomiting. We urgently need IVs before death from dehydration occurs! If the cause is not poisoning, then antiemetics must be administered

    Tatyana 09:01 | 18 Feb. 2019

    Hello, my cat started vomiting. She is exhausted, poor thing, she will eat, some time will pass and she will lie. At first I thought it was wool, but the vomiting did not stop, she wants to eat, but all the food comes out. I arrived from a business trip (4 days later), the cat can barely walk due to her thinness. I took her to the doctor, they did a blood test, an ultrasound of the liver, kidneys, and bladder. Diagnosis - initial renal failure that it is the kidneys that cause intoxication. We injected Disol for three days, an antibiotic injection under the skin for three days, and for some reason only two days an antiemetic. That is, on the last (third day) a drip and an antibiotic. The cat came to life, even her fur became shiny, she ate (she was on a strict diet - she bought the most expensive food that the doctor recommended). She gave this pate every two hours, in general, after three days of drips, she even went to the toilet for the most part (she had nothing to go to before that). And on the morning of the 4th day, she vomited again in the morning. I’m at work and I see the same thing starts, I brought her a piece of pate (this recommended food), she sniffed it, moved away and vomited just yellow water, I think bile. I called the clinic and the answer was a visit to us. I can’t imagine what to do with her, you won’t keep dripping endlessly, especially as they pulled the catheter out of the vein, and she was screaming at me. She then limped the rest of the day.

    Daria - veterinarian 20:55 | 19 Feb. 2019

    Hello! Did you hope that such a complex pathology would go away in 4 days? It does not develop in a minute, and sometimes therapy takes months (especially if the kidney tissue has been destroyed). Patients most at risk for acute renal failure are those with kidney disease, severe trauma, systemic disease(pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, liver disease), decreased blood volume, electrolyte disturbances, hypo- or hypertension, fever, sepsis, use of nephrotoxic drugs (especially if self-medication was experimented with), anesthesia, hypercalcemia, lymphoma, leptospirosis. These are one of the few reasons that provoke the development of acute renal failure. Droppers are necessary (especially with sodium and chlorides, since a large number of ions are excreted in the urine, as diuresis increases). But potassium, on the contrary, is retained in the body, because with acute renal failure, its excretion by the kidneys and excretion through the gastrointestinal tract are impaired. It is dangerous to administer potassium supplements without monitoring its level in the blood! It will also cause heart problems. But you can’t pour sodium in liters, everything is good in moderation. It is necessary to prescribe diuretics and drugs to improve blood flow in the kidneys very carefully (under the supervision of a doctor). Antiemetics can be administered with caution. In general, did you take biochemistry tests to assess the current state of the kidneys and liver?

Hello! Please help my Manechka, she ate a New Year's plastic streamer 2 days ago. These 2 days she does not eat or drink. She vomits 2-3 times an hour. The vomit was clear mucus, but a couple of times it had a dark brown tint. Before each attack she screams a lot. Is it possible to somehow get this nasty thing out of her stomach at home? Help my girl please

• Julia 13:58 | 01 Feb. 2019

  Hello. I have a Maine Coon cat. Last night she vomited several times, after that she didn’t eat anything, even in the morning she was lethargic. Please tell me what could be the reason. She vomited not wool, but undigested food.

• Hello, my cat is 18 years old, he hasn’t walked for 2 years, he has problems with his back and hind legs. He also has urolithiasis and asthma. We look after him, give him medicine, give him a massage. The cat's appetite is good, he goes to the toilet normally, but sometimes he has to be given a laxative. Our veterinarian told us to euthanize the cat half a year ago. In recent months, the cat has become worse - it began to “shrink out” and began vomiting. Vomits after eating, grinds his teeth when he chews food, then seems to be choking, either he can’t swallow, or the food gets into his teeth, everything regurgitates back, along with white foam. One of his teeth is broken. He eats dry Purina and Felix sachets. Current medications include cystone and flixotide inhaler. Vomiting is almost constant, so little food gets in, but he has an appetite. Is there any way I can help at home? What antiemetic drugs can be given? Or maybe give antibiotics? He took 2 courses of Sinulox 50 mg in the fall and winter. There is no point in taking him to the veterinary clinic; he may not get there because he is scared. Is it possible to help in some other way or is it better not to torture and euthanize?

• The cat is 17-18 years old, sterilized, he always lies once a day, more often after eating, 2-3 hours later. This lasts almost a month. Vomits not digested food, but liquid in the form of mucus or water. We feed cat food "Felix" with boiled meat, sometimes we give raw meat, he drinks milk and water

• Hello. The cat is 9 years old. He vomited undigested food all day. On the second day, a single vomiting of saliva. To the toilet and feeding as usual. Not lethargic. The abdomen is soft, painless. The condition is a little worried, but everything is just as comfortable. Nothing except special food we don’t give (Royal Canin for fussy and urinary, dry and wet) Diagnosis since 2010 of ICD and pyelonephritis. Remission for 2 years. He often sits near the flowers, there is a suspicion that he sometimes bites the flowers. Or rather the soil. They also sowed grass for cats are turned into sawdust, we don’t let them grow up well, they gnaw them. There is no diarrhea. The cat itself is stressful, it’s difficult to go to the veterinarian with him. We go only in exceptional cases, so as not to injure us again. What can be done at home?

• Hello,

  I've been vomiting food frequently for the last month. They thought it was poisoning.
  But last week I started to burp bile, it seemed (because it was a dull yellow color).
  He drinks little water. We feed ourselves through a syringe. The pupils are large. The coat is dull. I lost weight 2 times.
  He just lies there, he has an appetite, but it’s very weak. He eats little by little 5 times a day. The eyes are dull. Severely dehydrated.
  We can get to the veterinary clinic in 2 days.

  Please tell me how to alleviate his condition.
  Or how can you restore your water balance for at least 2 days?
  Thank you

• Hello. Kitten about 4 months old. Vomited 3 times within an hour with short breaks. Undigested food. Afterwards the condition did not improve. Doesn't drink. Breathes frequently. Lethargic. What could be the reason? What to do?

• Hello!
  The cat is 10 years old. Periodically (every few months) vomiting begins after eating. The doctor prescribed Cerucal. 1. Today, after the injection, the cat began to have a strange reaction. Googled it - overdose. What should I do? Should I wait until it goes away on its own? Or is there something that can be done? The cat seems lost, complains, orientation is disturbed, does not sleep, complains.
  2. How to still diagnose a cat. Every time vomiting starts, we go to the doctor, and every time they say that without a biopsy a diagnosis cannot be made, and for this the cat needs to do abdominal surgery With general anesthesia. Is this really the only way?
  all the troubles started when IAMS disappeared. Now we are suffering. Currently eating Purina ProPlan for gastrointestinal problems.
  Thank you!

• Good day! The cat is a cross between a Scotsman and a yard cat. Mkb Acidic urine. There are struvite and oxalates. Recently I had a problem with urination; a catheter was inserted once every 24 hours, twice every 2 days. When they removed the 2-day catheter, it got stuck (as the doctor said, “the catheter was supported by a stone in the urethra”) The course of treatment was antibiotic Baytril, droppers under the skin of 50 ml of saline occasionally, graying once every 7 days, papaverine for 8 days, we still give cystophane por, food poutine urinari (pate). The cat is 4 years old and neutered. Antibiotics were given for 10 days. On the 6th day of taking the antibiotic, vomiting began. Still vomiting. Treatment started on November 28 and ended on December 6. Vomits undigested food after an average of 3 hours, but sometimes faster. There is lethargy, he asks for food, drinks about 20 ml per day + food diluted with water.

• Hello! We have one like this the problem is the cat I ate a piece of thick polyethylene. During the day, the appetite did not change (eats, drinks), the state of health is normal. At night I tried to tear, a little liquid came out. On the second day I went to the toilet, there was no film there. Two more days passed, no changes in behavior. Yesterday I had hard stool again, no film in it. The cat tried to vomit again, but nothing. The abdomen is not tight, not painful. He eats and drinks. I am worried about the urge to vomit and the absence of this film in the stool. Tell me what to do. Thank you!

• Hello! I don't know what to do. My British cat vomits all day. First in the morning she vomited a large, white, thick pile, and then about every two hours she vomited a little white foam, sometimes transparent like drool or something slightly yellowish, and in the evening she vomited a little bit of curdled milk, but in a fountain. This is the first time this has happened to her, yesterday she stopped going for walks, the cat was not taken to mating.

• Hello! The cat is 13 years old, small, short-haired, domestic. The last time we dewormed was in the fall of last year. He eats dry food PerfectFikt or jelly food of the same brand. Recently they brought some grass from the dacha, and she ate it and vomited grass leaves. Then she ate the food and vomited undigested food. Then she didn’t eat anything for 12 hours, drinking only water. Then they gradually spoon-fed liquid food, then dry and everything was fine for two days. Now in the evening the vomiting started again for no apparent reason. One burp was dark brown in color. Next are two small transparent burps with foam. Then I went to the toilet in small ways and in big ways, but with difficulty. I sat and pushed for a long time. The feces are normal. Then she drank only water. And she vomited a second time with transparent foam. The behavior is quite normal, the nose is cold, wet, temperature is 38.4 (measured in groin area), pulse and respiration rates are normal, and asks to eat all the time. What could it be? Should you see a doctor? Help please...

• Hello! My cat is 16 years old, I feed him Hills k/d food for his kidneys, before that 2 years ago I was at the veterinarian’s clinic, the tests were not very good, that’s why this food was prescribed. But recently the cat began to vomit undigested food, sometimes along with food hairballs came out, but now after every meal of dry food he sometimes vomits mucus with a reddish admixture, but if you give wet food same brand, everything is fine and no problems. Maybe change the diet? He doesn’t drink water often, there’s no discharge from the eyes, his nose is cold, he’s not sad in himself, but he’s lost a little weight.

• Rose 12:45 | 12 Feb. 2018

  Help please! There is no veterinary station in the town. Male cat, Thai, 4.5 years old, not neutered, weight 4.5 kg, fully vaccinated, fed dry Royal Canin. There were no previous health problems. On the evening of February 9, we applied vitamax flea drops to the withers (only indicated natural composition plant oils). On the morning of February 10, we noticed that the cat was bothered by its genitals and was constantly licking them. I didn't eat or drink during the day. In the morning I went mostly to the litter box - no change. Somebody vomited during the day yellow mass. In the evening, he began to sit on the tray and sit for a long time in this position, as if he was peeing. But not a drop was found in the tray. By late evening he became lethargic and motionless. He meowed in a voice that was not his own. He began to not only sit in the tray, but also lie down. I lay there all night, until 5 am. He refused water and food. On February 11, we tried to find a veterinary clinic. We don't have them in our city. We went through all the things in the pharmacy and they gave us the phone number of the veterinarian. They called and told us they could examine the cat only on Monday. They said that flea drops had nothing to do with it. Most likely it is cystitis or urticaria. It is important that the cat pee, otherwise it will get worse; for this you need to give an injection of baralgin and popaverine, at the rate of 0.1 ml per 1 kg of animal. We got an injection in the thigh insulin syringe 0.4 ml baralgin. After 3-4 minutes, the cat began to vomit white foam and mucus, he shook his head, did not let him come to him, and tried to remove the mucus from his face with his paws. Then, Scarlet Blood appeared in the white foam, and blood foam was already vomiting. We called this veterinarian, he said to go to the pharmacy and buy Hegalon and give an injection. What is this intoxication in a cat? We didn’t do this, and we didn’t inject papaverine either, because we were afraid that it would get even worse. Before Baralgin, he at least just sat in the tray. Yesterday this vomiting of blood stopped. He was lying down. Towards night I vomited white foam. At night he jumped onto the table and lay on the table. Today, February 12, in the morning I vomited water with something yellow in it. It is obvious that he has no strength. It’s scary to take him to this veterinary and we have no other choice. Tell me something

• Anastasia 04:26 | 11 Feb. 2018

  Good morning! I feed my cat Royal Horse for the British and soft whiskey. Once every two to three months he vomits hair, but sometimes during vomiting his legs are paralyzed and his eyes become glassy, ​​but after 10-20 seconds he regains consciousness. What's wrong with him? And how terrible are his fainting spells?

• Hello. The cat is almost 10 months old. For the second day he does not eat or drink anything. He only sleeps and sometimes gets up, meows and vomits yellow liquid, more like bile. Doesn't go to the toilet. The nose is warm.
  We were told that he had worms. They gave him a pill, it didn't help.
  What to do? 🙁
  What is this and what could be causing it?

• Hello.
  The kitten is 2.5 months old and has been vomiting bile for two days.
  Today is the third day, the cat drinks only water and mother’s milk.
  She doesn’t eat anything, she went to the toilet, 50/50 liquid and solid.
  Today I tried to give her kitten food in jelly, she only licked the jelly, but she doesn’t eat the pieces, she chews it and then spits it out.
  I checked my mouth and there is nothing foreign.
  Her mouth smells and her eyes are a little watery (the eyes just started today). She’s lethargic, sleeps all the time and asks to be held in her arms, she started sleeping the same way with me.
  The veterinary clinic opens on the 9th, but I don’t know what to do with her anymore (I gave her activated charcoal)
  The cat is not vaccinated or wormed, we planned to start after the holidays.

• Hello. The cat is 2.5 years old. Anthelmintic 1 time per season. last 01.12.17. The cat is fluffy, neutered, has “proplan”, dry food, brushed once a week. During the holidays I was left alone and checked once a day. When we returned home we found vomit made of thick wool, parts of a foam rubber toy and a blade of grass. Afterwards, the vomiting became straw-colored and turned yellow. I had an appetite, went to the toilet, after two days yellow vomit They brought me to the clinic and did an x-ray. He didn't show anything. They said that due to improper feeding (the food is poured in as it is eaten without taking into account weight) gastritis, they put on a drip with Ranger-Locke, saline solution, subcutaneous antiemetic drug and a/b. The vomiting has intensified, he vomits a lot, does not go to the toilet, completely refuses food, drinks little and pees. Syringes with antiemetic and a/b were taken to the house. We independently placed a drip with saline solution. During the day they gave me 4 pieces of wet food (in the store they offered it for gastrointestinal illness medicinal food"Heels") and water from the syringe, again severe vomiting, all 4 pieces came out undigested. The cat has lost a lot of weight. Mucous membranes are pale. To the hospital tomorrow. The city is small, they don’t do much testing. Tell me what could be the reasons? What should I insist be done in the hospital?

  Hello, we have the following problem: the cat has been vomiting for 3 days, doesn’t eat anything, doesn’t want to drink. The vomit is yellow. 1 the nose was dry and warm, but today and yesterday the nose is cold. What to do? Please tell me how to feed the cat after vomiting

• Good evening. The cat is very lethargic for the second day, does not eat, does not go to the toilet at all. I tried a little and it turned out to be small peas. Today I vomited greenish liquid a couple of times. How can we help him?

• We took the cat to the cat for mating. When they came to pick her up, she was terribly angry, her fur stood on end, hissing and lunging at everyone. I think she was already feeling bad then. We took her into the car, where she started vomiting yellow. When we arrived home, she went to the toilet with yellow liquid. As soon as you feed it, it immediately vomits yellow. They thought that she was nervous from the move, but it lasted 3 days, which caused serious concerns. She hardly ate (she only drank water) and lay lethargic. On the 4th day, when they decided to go to the veterinary clinic, she felt better. She eats, doesn't vomit, goes to the toilet normally, but still sleeps a lot.
  Such a question. What could it be? Can there be consequences and what are they? And is it worth going to the clinic? The cat is nervous and does not tolerate moving well.
  If it’s important, I can also say about the cat: she is 6 years old, 3 kg, the breed is Thai (this breed has weak liver, which worries me).

• My cat is 14 years old. The cat is neutered. Over the years I have been feeding him Whiskas, Felix, chicken breast and sometimes I give well-boiled fish, pollock or hake. The cat is fluffy and constantly licks its fur and does not allow it to be combed. Of course he regurgitates it, but for the last six months he has been regurgitating thick mucus. pink color like blood. For a week now, my stool has become worse and has become the consistency of semolina or sour cream. The cat is constantly lying down and has become inactive. I can't understand what's wrong with him.

• British cat. The second day I felt the urge to vomit, in the morning at 6 o’clock I threw up a hairball (a lot) and some leftover food (a little). I asked for food and ate half a pack of Royal Canin. After some time, I tore everything out. At 9 am I finished the second half, an hour and a half later I threw up the partially digested one. The nose is cold and wet. He walks around and doesn’t understand what’s happening. It's been a while since we've wormed. Likes to lick all the bags and lie on shoes. P.S. Vomiting that clears the stomach is rare. Once every six months, and sometimes more. I read that they give cerucal. Maybe it's worth it?

• The cat is 3.5 years old. A few days (3-4) ago, I suddenly began to experience the urge to vomit, sometimes vomiting saliva. The condition was generally satisfactory. The appetite has not changed. I assumed there was a hairball in the gastrointestinal tract, yesterday I poured in 15 ml Vaseline oil, several pieces of wool came out with the stool. I sighed calmly and waited for improvement, however, the urge continued, so I poured in another 10 ml. The cat went into the litter box a couple of times with liquid, light yellow stool, without fur. Last year, the cat suffered from calcivirosis; the doctor prescribed Gamavit, along with other medications. This time I independently administered s/c 1.0 Gamavit.
  Towards evening, I noticed that the cat’s condition had worsened, he ate little, an hour later - vomiting of undigested food once, weakness, lethargy, frequent urge to vomit.
  Tell me how I can help at home, what the tactics are, at least until the morning, to the veterinarian.

• Good afternoon.
  The cat vomited for the second day immediately after eating.
  Yesterday she ate, and a couple of minutes later she vomited the food she ate. She had fish for the evening, but since she behaved normally during the day, I didn’t think that dinner would turn out like this.
  In the morning I decided to give her some oatmeal without spices (she loves oatmeal) and the cat drank some water, but after a couple of minutes she returned everything again.
  Tell me what could be the reason and how can I help it? She goes to the toilet outside, so there is no way to monitor exactly how she goes (liquid or not).

• Hello! On November 13, we adopted a kitten from the bird market; he is 1 month and 2 weeks old. At first everything was fine, he was cheerful, but he hardly ate, they thought he was adapting to the new home. But he stopped eating completely, drinking too, he is very lethargic, doesn’t play, sleeps all the time. Yesterday he started vomiting, at night he vomited yellow water and some white foam. I tried to force him to drink water, because he was vomiting a lot, so that there would be no dehydration, he was in no way, I gave him water from a syringe, gave him a little kefir from a syringe (the woman from whom the kitten was taken said that he eats kefir, cottage cheese, boiled chicken, kitten food) was fed exclusively with this. After kefir he had diarrhea and I didn’t give him any more kefir, only water. After we adopted the kitten, we consulted with a friend by phone, she is a veterinarian, she said the same thing about nutrition as the woman who gave the kitten, but also said that there is now an infection in this “bird market”. Unfortunately, we found out about this when he was already taken. Friends had a case, they took a kitten from the same market about 5 years ago, he lived with them for a week, the symptoms were similar, but we did not attach any importance, because it was a long time ago and you never know an isolated case. The condition of the cat is very lethargic, today we will go to the veterinary clinic. But still, please tell me, what is this? Virus?

• Good afternoon, tell me, the cat has been vomiting for the second day, about five times, there was food in the vomit only on the first day and the first time, and it was all yellow. Vomits yellow water and foam. At the end of the day he eats and drinks a little. She eats liquid and dry delicacy, she has become lethargic, but she walks and lies down, there is no fever. I went to the toilet normally, only at the end it was as if the yellow water had wiped away a little and there was a very strong smell. He doesn’t eat, he drinks a little water. I don’t even know how to take her to the vet, I’ve been there a couple of times, and both times I bit everyone.

• Hello, my cat is 1 year old. A couple of days ago I started vomiting undigested food, then the coughing and snot started. She hasn’t lost her appetite; since yesterday she has become a little lethargic. And today my eyes started running and snot appeared. Doctor, please tell me what this could be?

• Hello! They adopted a one-month-old kitten and fed it milk and semolina porridge. He didn’t drink water. On the sixth day he had a seizure with screaming and howling. He felt bad almost the whole day. The next day he was fine, playing and eating. Four days later everything happened again. At first he vomited milk and immediately his gaze became glassy (his eyes are open, but do not react), then he shakes and screams again. It feels like he's dying. By evening I recovered. What's wrong with him?

• Good afternoon My cat is already 17 years old. On Friday she vomited. I didn’t see what exactly it was, since I wasn’t the one cleaning it up. We decided that it was due to stale food. They gave us kefir. After some time, she vomited this kefir mixed with bile. Dali Enterofuril. We cooked her some chicken, so she mostly ate the broth. She felt better all over. She ate cottage cheese, and a little bit of carbonate and black bread. And it was clear from her behavior that she was feeling better. Today, Monday morning, she vomited again. What could it be? How can I help her? We feed her Whiskas, both wet and dry. We also give her homemade food. She has long hair, but I have never seen her not spit up. And lately her eyes have started to water. But the only symptom of aging that we see is that it has become harder for her to jump anywhere, and even her eyes began to become cloudy just a couple of months ago. And then, just a little bit.

  Hello! Yes, you understood correctly. Repeated vomiting is always a reason to seek help from a veterinarian. Especially with foam. Perhaps just indigestion, poisoning. Or maybe it's gastritis. Dark coloration of vomit - could it be an admixture of blood? Then there may be a stomach ulcer. As you can see, there are a lot of reasons. During an in-person examination, let the veterinarian differentiate the disease and prescribe treatment. Get well soon!

  Hello, my cat is half a year old. 3 days ago he started refusing to eat. He was vomiting white foam with worms. Today we went to the vet, she said it was because of worms and gave him some kind of injections. 3 of them. I don’t know which ones, my husband went with him and didn’t ask anything. She prescribed Vitam injections. She also said that the temperature had dropped to 36. In the evening it didn’t get better. He still refuses to eat, he just drinks a little. He vomited 2 times again. He’s no longer worm-free. He doesn’t go to the toilet. What should I do next? Is this how it should be or should improvements already be visible?

  Hello. We have a Scottish cat, 3 years old. Yesterday everything was fine, the cat was playing, running. Today in the morning and at night it started, she is vomiting. All the food comes out. She asks to eat again. At first she didn’t even suspect it, because there were lumps coming out wool. As a result, now she is vomiting at intervals of 20-30 minutes. She sleeps, then jumps up and runs. Yellow water comes out and nothing else. They gave her the day before in bags. She also eats dry, we give chicken, boiled and raw. Porridge, vegetables. glass is normal. she recently underwent sterilization, she was given treatment for worms. it was September 2. no diarrhea. does not go outside. completely at home.

  Hello! I wrote to you earlier that the cat was vomiting undigested food and hair and he felt quite well afterwards, but today it was an absolutely colorless liquid without hair, and after that he immediately ate and played. I read on the Internet that it is not normal if the liquid is colorless, what do you recommend? Can I take a general and biochemical blood test? And tell me, is Prazicide tablets effective against worms? (he was last poisoned in July) he may have worms, although there are no signs.

  Hello, the kitten is a year and a couple of weeks old, does not walk outside, is quite strong and large, about 5 kg. loves to eat. Yesterday afternoon, vomiting began, first with food, then pink foam, then blood (red), at intervals of 10-15 minutes. for about 4 hours, there was no diarrhea. Since we live in a small town, we have only one veterinarian, and without serious equipment. He looked at the kitten ( oral cavity), took the temperature and said everything was normal. He called the reason possible poisoning by “rat”, or perhaps some kind of spices, we don’t have rats, mice, or even cockroaches, so we don’t keep poisons at home, but spices are possible, since we gave him grilled chicken about 3 hours before the start vomiting, all people who ate chicken are fine. From the evening until lunch the kitten lay without getting up, at lunchtime he got up and began to ask for food. I fed him a small dose of soft food, a teaspoon, because I read that you can’t feed him a lot at once. He began to behave normally and walk. About an hour later he again vomited food and again blood. At the same time, he walks calmly, his eyes are not cloudy.
  I know that without tests and good examination, it’s very difficult to make a diagnosis, but please at least tell me roughly what it could be, and at least roughly how I can help him

• Good night! The British cat is a year and a month old, he vomited once when he was being transported in a car, he was half a year old (sick), he didn’t vomit again. And today the cat vomited, the first time with undigested food and about 5 minutes later the second time with a small ball of hair. Now I’m very worried, isn’t it scary? Or is it just because of the fur? But every other day I comb it with a furminator. Perhaps we should give him malt paste? Or is it some kind of poisoning in the cat? although after vomiting he drank and ate, played a little and slept (because it was already night). I really hope for your answer, I’m all excited.

Vomiting in cats and cats 😿

Content

There is hardly a single owner who would not observe such a phenomenon as cat vomiting. But the cat owner does not always pay due attention to what happened, considering it simply the body’s reaction to food. Yes, this happens, but it also happens that bad changes occur in the cat’s body, and this is one of the first symptoms of a serious illness. Therefore, it is better to figure out whether there is a reason to treat your pet.

Causes of vomiting in cats

Diseases

Here is a list of diseases that can cause a cat to burp regularly:

chronic renal failure. Often with chronic renal failure in the morning, the ejected contents consist of empty saliva, and uremic syndrome manifests itself;

gastroenteritis, gastritis - mucus may be visible;

But it is inappropriate to attribute such an unpleasant phenomenon only to pregnancy - infections can attack a cat at any time, so if you suspect it, it is better to show the animal to a veterinarian.

Diagnosis of cat vomiting

People often forget that it is necessary not only to remove the symptom, but to understand the cause of the phenomenon. Vomit may be a symptom various violations in the cat's body. To understand the true cause of regurgitation, you need to consider vomiting - after diagnosis it will become clear whether the animal needs urgent treatment, and which one exactly.

The cat is vomiting blood

When an owner notices blood in a cat's vomit, they may begin to panic. You shouldn't do this. You need to get together and first of all study the unpleasant phenomenon.

Perhaps there is scarlet blood in the mass, or the mass itself is thick and brown. If the vomit is still brown, then there is a high chance of gastric bleeding. It could have been caused by a hit foreign body, tumor, ulcerative process, liver disease, acute course gastritis and some other diseases. Why brown? Because vomit contains not only blood, but also gastric juice.




Scarlet bloody vomit or a distinct pink mass indicates bleeding in the esophagus or mouth. There is nothing that can be done here other than taking the cat to the clinic.

Black vomit

Black vomit in a cat can also scare the owners. Typically, such a scourge does not manifest itself without accompanying symptoms: along with regurgitation, fever, drowsiness, weakness, pain, diarrhea, and signs of dehydration appear. They do not take any independent action - only a specialist treats the problem. The owner's task is not to try to feed the cat, but to get him to the doctor as soon as possible.

Clear vomit in a cat

Both an adult cat and a small kitten can vomit clear liquid. Instead of stomach contents with pieces of food, there is simply clear water with some gastric juice. A small amount of mucus from the esophagus may be present.

Simple yellow vomit occurs when a cat's diet consists of industrial food. But if the vomit is a bright, rich yellow color, even orange, it means that bile has spilled into the stomach.




Reasons

Bile entering the stomach is caused by problems with the biliary tract or liver disease.

Treatment

It's best to re-learn the nutrition tips for cats: fatty foods excluded completely, not to mention stale. The second step will be to consult a veterinarian to check the animal’s condition.

The cat has green vomit

Green vomit appears when a lot of bile or even intestinal contents have spilled into the stomach. Usually the process is triggered by a severe infection. Required here urgent help veterinarian, and not treatment at home, take care of your cat!

When a kitten or cat vomits greens and fur, everything is not so critical: the pet probably tasted green grass, and before that it ingested own wool- this is where the stomach self-cleanses from the fur that has filled it.




The cat is vomiting white foam

It happens that a cat vomits white foam - a one-time occurrence does not pose a threat. Nausea begins when food has been digested and sent to the intestines, and mucus and gastric juice remain in the empty stomach. The air that gets into them helps to form a foamy white mass. This happens at any age: both in old cats and in young ones after giving birth.

Multiple foamy vomiting in cats indicates the presence of chronic stomach diseases. Foam is a derivative of mucus that protects the walls of the organ, and in its absence, ulcers can form.

Foam vomiting is often observed in a kitten after switching to solid food: the stomach is often full, so it turns on gag reflex. The process is quite long and stops only when mucus and gastric juice come out in the form of white foam. In adult animals, such a stomach reaction is also possible when switching to new type nutrition.

Veterinary medicine indicates that beginning gastritis is one of the causes of morning white cat vomiting with foam. Parallel symptoms may include alternating diarrhea and constipation, refusal to eat, and apathetic behavior.

If the foamy vomit contains some hairs, the problem is caused by a hairball stuck in the stomach. The green grass fibers will help the animal get rid of the foreign body.




It’s not at all good if, in addition to foam, bile or blood is found in the contents ejected from the stomach: the cat is shaking and tormented persistent diarrhea, nervous attacks develop: urgently see a veterinarian.

Vomiting mucus

Vomiting in a cat with mucus in it does not bode well: erosive and chronic gastritis, intestinal diseases, viral diseases.

Vomiting in cats after eating

There are several reasons for this: the cat could have eaten to its heart’s content, and the gag reflex was triggered. Or the cat ate too hastily, swallowing pieces - such a meal will not go well. In both cases the phenomenon will be one-time.
